The Misfits

I live in a society of “misfits”. Money is everything in the society I live in. Good hearted people are never shown to have as much value or worth as those with the biggest banks. In many ways people who fight the hardest to win, ends up coming up short due to the price tags. I constantly feel like I am in the middle of these battles. I was never a fan of conformity, it always made “different” bad, I don’t agree with that, the world needs mavericks. My names Gabriel Hudson, I hated my name it for

The story starts off with a family of 6 prepping for their trip to Florida. However, the Grandmother within the first couple of lines shows how against it she is because of the escaped convicts known as the misfits. The reader is told that the Misfit is an escaped convict that is known as a notorious killer and is somewhere in Florida. Looking at the Grandmothers character and reasons for bringing this up the externally makes the Grandmothers pleas seem reasonable and the thought process of the rest

impending death are the Misfits car, the forest, the sky, the grandmothers hat, and prayer. The use of symbolism throughout the story allows for readers to get a feel for what may occur. As evidenced in this short story, O'Connor uses several circumstances and objects that hint at what was going to happen next. In "A Good Man is Hard to Find" symbolism is prominent in describing the outcome of the family's trip. One symbol that immediately strikes as dark and deadly is the Misfits car. O'Connor describes

characteristics that make them unique and special. Tim Burton expresses the idea that individuality is preferable to conformity through his use of contrasting settings and misfit protagonists in films such as, Miss Peregrine’s home for Peculiar Children and Edward Scissorhands. Tim Burton tends to depict the differences and special “abilities” of misfit protagonists as advantageous in creating a sense of individualism rather than a barrier in which one must overcome. For example, in Edward Scissorhands, a large

main point within it, leading to the reader having to interpret their death. “The misfit sprang back as if a snake had bitten him and he shot her three times through the chest. Then he put his gun down in the ground and took off his glasses and began to clean them.” (O’Connor, p.122) This clearly shows the misfits attitude towards death and the killing of others. A part of the disconnection of her death is that the misfit naturally enjoys to kill, and does not have a connection to her. She reaches out

his/her thoughts. One of these stories is "A Good Man Is Hard To Find", by Flannery O'Connor. In this story O'Connor's victim, The Misfit, is an escaped convict. He was in the Federal Penitentiary for killing his father. Throughout the story O'Connor builds up this killers

trip with her family to FL. When they come across The Misfit that she read about in the newspaper she tries to save her and her family’s lives by making The Misfit realize his faith and she tries to make him believe he is a good person. Her son Bailey simply wants to take a smooth road trip to FL with his family, without any problems. When they come across The Misfit his motive is to be "the hero" and save his family by standing up to The Misfit. I feel the children's mother did not play an important

think the more important message is that the grandmother is a flat character from start to finish. The story starts by introducing the grandmother who is trying to convince her son to change the family vacation from Florida to Tennessee due to The Misfit being on the loose. Unable to do so, the family starts their journey, and the grandmother spends much of her time reminiscing her past. The family makes a pit stop, and the grandmother carry’s on a conversation with Red Sammy. Back in the car, with
